The Bieber Machine
Here are some of my favorite tweets from work on a Twitter API project, in which we tested using the hashtag #justinbieber :
- OMB @justinbieber is following me . i cant beliebe it *_*
- Can't even believe I liked Justin Bieber. Soo not a fan anymore!
That's embarrassing. I'm sure my tweets were always about him! Sorry!

@justinbieber seems like you'll NEVER DM me.. I say my prayers & YOU are always in them
pls DM me?#GermanyWantsJieberBack :/
does anyone have Justin Bieber's real cell number or email or anything that i could contact him?
@justinbieber hey Justin do u know that I'm a witch? Yes I am but I can't beat you because you're a ninja :p
I didn't read most of them. Every time we refreshed it there were another 30 tweets about Bieber; 99% were so boring, pathetic and needy, I couldn't handle actually reading them after a while.
I can't imagine being a goofy teenage boy and getting that kind of attention.
